Help with Disney Buttons...I need Crafty People!!

[yulilin3]

I live 20 min from "The World" and go there every weekend, throughout the years I've acumulated around 50 Disney buttons, you know, the ones like Happy B-Day, First Time, Engaged, Just Married, Family Gatherings, alot from AK Conservation Station, Wildlife Conservation Fund, atc, also I have some Dream Fastpasses tags from MK, AK, MGM and DHS (I got one with the old logo and one with the new DHS)
So what can I do with them other than have them in a drawer? I am craft challenged any ideas??
TIA

Maybe you could place them in a shadow box that you could hang up somewhere?

I collect Disney buttons too and I put the ones I have in a shadowbox and it's hanging on my bedroom wall. I took some thicker fabric and pinned them all to the fabric and folded it into the frame and done! It didn't take too long and it's very cute.

You could buy wide ribbons and hang them down a wall.

A few years ago Michaels' had framed bulletin boards with a picture frame on top. I have all of my pins there. The buttons I have I just opened them up and slide them into the cork.

Another idea is to get the squares of cork and decorate them with ribbon or paint and attach them to a wall. If you paint them, paint them white first. I painted some for DD's room and the first coat soaked through without the white.

Odd suggestion... You could use them as tiles and cover a coffee table top with them.. That is if you don't mind permanently fixating them to something.. The other idea, which is less destructive, is they do sell coffee and end tables that are shadow boxes.

My parents, and grandparents used to collect patches from camp outs.. The made vests that the sewed all the patches to.. You could do the same thing with the buttons.. Make a vest, or by one and pin them fast.
